I'm referring to the very short ones that provide no input, only a high rating to pump up the company's overall rating. These people should at least learn how to spell so that they look authentic. As for the pros, the company is a good training ground, but don't expect to go anywhere unless you're French

Cons

A hostile work environment once they decide you're too expensive to keep due to your years of experience.

Good salary, decent benefits, intelligent and friendly peers, opportunity to travel and become a part of a global organizations

Cons

Lack of training, All decision are made out of France, US management only cares about themselves, promotions are not based on performance, they are simply based on politics. You get a solid feeling that no one cares about you or your health and that you are only a number.

Advice to Management

Remove all legacy managers. They are useless, the results clearly prove that change must be made in the upper level to prevent the turnover of future talents.

Arkema is a relatively large company with good benefits and competitive salary.

Cons

Working Environment is not good. Their Human Resources Department runs the company and has no understanding on how to deal with employees to promote a positive work environment. They do not promote teamwork and they tend to create internal friction. The R&D Department has too many voids and silos.
